Phoronix, I know this is part of your business idea, but I think this ridiculous amount of backlinking is sometimes so pointless. You don't have to backlink *everything*. It'd be cool if that GNOME 3.6 link would actually link to the GNOME homepage. A matter of convenience when reading news and normally a globally accepted thing. I would think.

Or at least, differentiate in colour between external and internal link so I know what to *not* click on without having to hover on.

Agreed. I've gotten used to assuming everything is a backlink on Phoronix and so I cautiously scan my status bar before clicking.

Sure, Michael is acting like a scammer trying to persuade you to visit more of his pages to get more advertisement money. And yes, at least using a different color for the backlinks would be great, I'm sick having to look at the status bar to avoid clicking on his backlinks.
